Surrounded Islands

Surrounded Islands is a notable 1980 art installation by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, featuring the Archipelago of Miami, Florida. The project involved wrapping 11 islands in the Biscayne Bay with bright pink fabric, creating a striking contrast against the blue water and greenery. This ambitious artwork was both visually impactful and environmentally evocative, aiming to raise awareness about the beauty of nature. The installation lasted for just two weeks, emphasizing the transient nature of art, while inviting visitors to experience the scenery in a new, imaginative way.
